Greccio Mass - 80s Rewind


Following the centuries-old tradition initiated by St Francis of Assisi, SFS began their Christmas party last 18 December 2010 with a Greccio Mass where the Poor Man of Assisi built a Christmas crib in a cave in Greccio to re-enact the Loveladen Incarnation. Set in the rooftop of St Claire building, the Holy Mass presided by School Director Fr. Edgardo A. Alutaya, OFM also called on different teaching and non-teaching personnel to share their thoughts about the essence of Christmas; Brother Tem S. Gulay, OFM, School Finance Officer, was assigned to deliver the Christmas Message where he focused on the significance and importance of one-on-one relationship and authentic acceptance of one's self as the human basis to understand the meaning of the event God-becoming-man; after the Mass, the SFS personnel paid homage to the Child Jesus by kissing and showing respect to His image held by Bro Tem OFM. And after the Sacramental Gathering around the Holy Table, the annual Christmas party took off with the theme "The Eighties Rewind" where all were garbed in the colorful fashion of the 80s and all the parlor games played around the said vibrant era.

BES TAYO NG DVES Part 1

On the wee morning of 29 October 2010, a team of SFS personnel led by School Director Fr. Edgardo A. Alutaya, OFM, took the long 10-hours drive to Donsol, Sorsogon to share the first batch of school materials the school had collected from generous students-pupils, parents, alumni and friends of SFS. Met by St Anthony of Padua Parish Priest Fr Eric Ollague, OFM, in San Antonio, Donsol, Sorsogon late in the afternoon, the team had a much-needed rest at the very simple friary. The following day, 30 October, after a breakfast of rice-tinapa-fried egg-fruits, the team then proceeded to De Vera Elementary School, a good 2-kilometers trek by foot from the main road because of the almost unaccesible dirt road. But the team's hardship in making that long walk was paid off when they were eagerly met by the pupils, parents, teachers, barangay officials of DVES. Ms Mel M. Serafico, the school Registrar, explained to the parents SFS' commitment to be DVES' sister school and urged them to do their contribution especially in the feeding program; this was then followed by a short and simple but airy program where the DVES pupils expressed their thanksgiving by means of their prepared musical dance numbers. Then the much-awaited queue followed where all the 198 pupils of DVES, from all grade levels, received their share of gifts. Capping the morning was when Ms Serafico handed to the teachers the initial amount to begin the feeding program. And for all those who magnanimously shared for DVES- we have just started helping out because this program will run until March of 2011. "...for it is in giving that we receive..."

Let's Help DE VERA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Fr. Eric Ollague, OFM, Parish Priest of St Anthony of Padua Parish in San Antonio, Donsol, Sorsogon expressed the particular need of De Vera Elementary School in his parish, right in the heart of the boondocks of Bicol- the pupils are in need of school materials like notebooks, paper, pencils, crayola, bags, slippers, toobrush/toothpaste, soap, etc- which moved Saint Francis School to adopt said school. SFS will highly appreciate donations for the DVES kids, in cash or in kind; the HS Department's SGO (Student Government Organization) will set up a skeleton Christmas Tree in the school's main lobby where donations will be collected. Fr Edgardo Alutaya, OFM, SFS Director, revealed that a team will bring collected school materials at the end of October and November, and hoping that they will again proceed to Donsol on December 18 bringing with them Noche Buena for the kids of DVES. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
